Roots and leaves
The major driving force of water uptake in a large tree is transpiration.Transpiration is the process by which plants absorb water through the roots and release it as water vapor through the pores in their leaves. Once this water evaporates, a negative water vapor pressure is created or develops in the surrounding cells of the leaf. when this happens, water is pulled into the leaf from the vascular system, the xylem, to replace the water that has been transpired from the leaf.This pulling of water, or tension, that occurs in the leaf, will extend through the rest of the xylem column of the tree right into the xylem of the roots as result of the cohesive force holding the water molecules along the sides of the xylem tubing.The xylem is a continuous water column extending from the roots to the leaves.<span>Finally, the negative water pressure that occurs even to the roots will result in an increase of water uptake from the soil.</span>
Answer:
The cell has to undergo a process called Osmosis
Answer: Feedback mechanism
Explanation:
Feedback mechanism is the body's way of maintaining physiologic processes in the body. These physiologic processes include maintaining homeostasis, production of energy, hormones as well as enzymes required for chemical reactions.
There are 2 types of feedback mechanism:
- Positive feedback: The stimulus (message) sent to the brain, produces prolonged increased production or increased activity in the body.
- Negative feedback: In negative feedback, the stimulus causes production, secretion or activity till a set point where the body knows it has taken enough. This causes a self termination of the process.
In the increased muscle activity, the increase in activity in turn causes a decrease in energy (ATP) and serves as the stimulus leading to the release of enzymes which in turn lead to increased absorption of glucose which will be used by the body to produce more ATP needed for the muscular activity. At the end of the muscular activity, the body recognizes that it doesn't need an increased absorption of glucose to support increased activity anymore and glucose absorption normalizes.
